The colonial legacy in the construction of the modern Indian state
has left a deep imprint on contemporary Indians' self-identity and
self-determination. Borderland Politics in Northern India is a
collection of essays, giving detailed accounts of the many
different ways that people throughout India understand their
homeland, the territory where they live, and the broader region to
which they belong. Mona Chettri looks at the Gorkha community in
the Darjeeling hills to the northeast, Manjeet Baruah examines
Assam, and L. Lam Khan Piang explores the dispersion of the Zo
people throughout many northeastern states. In the northwest, Aijaz
Ashraf Wani illustrates how Jammu and Kashmir state is severed
along complex regional, religious, and ethnic lines. This book is
an invaluable source for readers interested in comparative studies
of borderlands globally. It also contributes to South Asian studies
broadly conceived, to Indian border studies, and to local social,
cultural, and political histories of the constituent border regions
of Northern India. This book was published as a special issue of
Asian Ethnicity.
